Back in the 60’s, scuba diving was a predominantly male activity. Since then, there has been an increasing proportion of women joining the sport.

In 2015, PADI created the Women’s Dive Day initiative – a special day to get women together, in the water and involved in diving and the goal is to get as many women as possible, at every level, diving on the same day in order to build awareness and interest for the sport.

This year, we are joining the initiative. So this article goes out to all women and women at heart who are in Cebu on the 16th of July 2016. Save the date! We will be doing two (2) easy shore dives in Kontiki. To put more meaning to the dive, we will also make this a dive against debris – we will be collecting underwater trash in our colorful girly mesh bags which you can take as souvenirs of the event. At the end of the day, we will collect all data regarding the trash we have collected and report it to the Dive Against Debris website to contribute to the collective view on the status of our adopted dive site, Kontiki Marina.

Kindly click here to book the date with us. You can choose to join us for just one dive if your schedule is packed but be sure to drop by and let’s celebrate all the women in diving. Help us document the event by using the following hashtags: #PADIWomen, #PADIWomensDiveDay, #DiveAgainstDebris and #DiveFunaticsJoinsWomensDiveDay.

There is only one thing I can say about Dive Funatics, this team is beyond awesome. They treat you as a friend never a customer. I have been diving with them three times (and counting) already , I like diving with them because they are very organized, professional and most of all respect diversity.
Thank you so much Dive Funatics and looking forward for more fun diving with you guys soon.
Keep up the good works and keep up the dives!

This was our first open water dive, the experience was indescribable. The instructor and assistant instructors were so friendly and accommodating. They helped us throughout the experience. me and my girlfriend had so much fun and we will definitely be going back for more!

Divefunatics is my first love. They have shaped me into the diver that I am now. No matter who or what center I dive with, #divefunatics is always on top of my credits. It's just natural to never forget what your first dive was like and the people who made it sure you had the best first dive ever. Having taken both OW and Advanced OW courses with them has not taken away that feeling. Every dive is still like the first, the only difference is the confidence they have built in me. Every dive is still like the first--euphoric, refreshing, invigorating... the moment I break the surface, it feels like being born again. Only Divefunatics could have hardwired that into me. I look forward to advancing my status with them this year, and you should, too.

They were perfect for me: responsive, accommodating & patient team. I recommend them highly most especially to those who like to try the sport but has issues/fear with the deep. They helped me gain more confidence with the water & I walked away feeling very accomplished...and of course with the certification!

Before I went to Cebu, I had contacted a few dive shops, but only Dive Funatics replied me very soon and answered all my questions. So I had decided to take my first Padi OW course with them and it turned out to be the best choice ever. Darwin and Rikka answered my emails and […]
